SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS VIDEOS |
||
Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, midway between Fort Worth and Dallas opened on August 5, 1961. Six Flags covers 212 acres with 44 rides, including 12 Roller Coasters and 5 Water Rides. The name "Six Flags Over Texas" is a reference to the flags of six nations that have flown over Texas, those being Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America and, currently, the United States of America. | ||

In this Six Flags Over Texas Video you get to ride the Titan Hypercoaster. It was built by Giovanola in 2001, 3 years before the thrill ride manufacturer went bankrupt. Titan climbs a 245 foot hill and then falls 255 feet into a 120 tunnel. After the tunnel the ride takes a long turn followed by more ups and downs including two 540 degree helixes and several over-banked turns. It took 2.8 million pounds of steel to build Titan.

In this Six Flags Over Texas Video you get to ride Batman: The Ride. Built in 1999 this is an inverted roller coaster. The first drop falls 109 feet, inches at up to 50 mph. This roller coaster is sort of like a ski lift on steroids.

In this Six Flags Over Texas Video you get to ride the Texas Giant wooden roller coaster. When it was built in 1990 the Texas Giant was the tallest wooden roller coaster in the world at 143 feet. In 1999 the Texas Giant was named Best Wooden Roller Coaster in the world.

In this Six Flags Over Texas Video you get to ride Mr. Freeze. This ride is part of the Super Hero theme part of the park that doesn't seem to have anything to do with any of the Six Flags that have been over Texas. Mr. Freeze was played by the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Batman & Robin. So, there's Batman: The Ride, Mr. Freeze and Superman Tower of Power
